bloomberg can celebrate a victory as robin kelly beat representative halverson in illinois's second district, vying to replace the seat left vacant by jesse jackson jr. who has resigned. bloomberg's super pac spent more than $2 million on the race on gun control ads in favor of kelly, the cook county's chief administrative officer. she beat halverson pretty handley. the numbers we have so far, 55 to 21% about 2/3 of precincts reporting. the special election for that is april 9th and kelly is expected to win because that district definitely leans democratic. jackson has resigned in wake of charges and then pled guilty to those saying that he illegally spent campaign funds on personal items. we're back with more show and lots of handsomeness after the break. stay with us.

sequester. we don't need it. we have ten years to fix the long-term deficit situation. we should not be stampeded by scare propaganda and consider the time for the right approach. that way we won't make the same mistake that they're making. >> and almost plunge them back into the depression again. >> stephanie: bloomberg news commissioned a survey asking americans if they believed the budget deficit was growing or shrinking. 94% had no clue and 62% thought it was getting bigger. they all thought -- they all thought leon was getting larger. >> for the record, after the depression and after every major recession, even after a lot of the bubbles the tech bubble, the housing bubble, this tiny bubble -- this austerity tactic on different levels has been tried and it usually is a skimming effect by the people who are in the 2%.

you panic the public into cutting back on essential services and that kind of stuff dipping unemployment for awhile. you can scrape off like another 5% of profits and then let it go back to its normal -- it is just a manufactured problem. >> stephanie: it is -- we have -- they have really gone off the crazy train. we played someone in right-wing world saying when the sequester cuts cut in, they should impeach the president over the effects of them. over the sequestration. >> there's video of paul ryan going this is the most. >> somest thing ever. i'm paraphrasing. >> stephanie: more fun facts about why everything republicans are saying about the sequester is wrong. governor expenditures have grown at the slowest pace since the eisenhower administration and the latest projections from the cbo show the nation's deficits have shrunk by trillions of dollars.

the debt is stabilized as a percent of the economy. austerity measures have dragged on in europe. some economists argue the deficit since fiscal caused by sequestration is likely to slow economic growth, reducing tax revenue and preventing meaningful deficit reduction. >> exactly why we have to spend. >> get off your ass. >> do what i want! >> stephanie: republicans now considering legislation that would leave obama and federal agencies with responsibility of carving out waste and unnecessary spending. >> good. >> stephanie: while preserving critical government services. the problem isn't one of authority. budgets will be cut 2% to 10% and most will be unable to salvage services. it is another effort to implement spending reductions without increasing revenues then blame obama for the consequences. >> i think the way they're getting away with part of this conversation and they're losing, you know if you're looking at the polls, the republicans are losing this argument but where they do probably have an 8% to

100 % poll margin of error is in the area that new revenues, $400 billion in new revenues, they've got 600 in cuts already. the extra 400 is the sticking point. that should come in the form of revenues and elimination of -- but those revenues are not coming in the form of new taxes. they're coming in the form of eliminating loopholes that a are unnecessary and subsidies that are offensive on a fiscal level. like if you believe in fiscal responsibility, the idea of not letting an oil company pay taxes in the first place giving them every possible reason to pay zero tax then giving then a subsidy so they can continue working and then let them, in the case of a bunch of these take the spills they've done, those cost of cleaning up the spill and use that as a tax deduction. >> that's right. >> stephanie: another good point they make here. these are modest cuts. think progress pointing out

reductions may not mean much for wealthy congressman. states are lose funding for plethora of services jeopardizing services for low income and middle-class families alike. cuts will undermine everything from border security to screening of containers. all of the stuff they scream about, security, amnesty they don't care about anything. >> of course not. >> they care about their side winning. it could cost the economy close to one million jobs. democrats have rejected the g.o.p. bills. republicans in the house passed a sequester replacement in the last congress that doesn't raise any new revenue includes cuts in food stamps, medicaid, social services, stuff that they know is a nonstarter. >> right. but also you say that -- their argument from the glenn beck rush limbaugh, dennis miller argument would be you say that like it is a bad thing. ultimately, the reason why these red states want more control over their pocketbooks from the federal aid that they get they want to get money from the

federal government but spend it any way they want so they can cut social services to such an extent that all of the poor people in their state move to the next state. move to the blue state near, next door so that -- they literally, it is their way of outsourcing poverty to the state that will take care of them. it is a very christian way of living. the idea is if you're from oklahoma and you don't make above minimum wage or you don't make -- if you have a kid and you're trying to raise them on the minimum wage or whatever, you're not a productive member of society move to illinois. that's really what they think. >> stephanie: right. >> this is part of that strategy, almost on a federal level. they think the same will apply to immigration. the idea that -- that's where self-deportation came from from mitt romney -- >> stephanie: have you watched any of rick perry's commercials urging you to move from california to texas. come to texas. >> that's what californians want to do is move to texas. like austin is seeing a boom. >> stephanie: you pointed out

in the break about sequestration. you were talking about how catastrophic this is going to be. >> my fear is it is and it isn't. because in many ways, it is slow moving disaster. because of the furlough requirements require that you don't lay people off necessarily tomorrow. you need 30-day provisions in most of the union contracts. most of the school cuts, as cute as they're going to be, most of them, the deepest happen in the next school year, not immediately. i just fear a little bit that both sides posturing can be questioned and my concern only is veracity at this point. whatever we say we're going to do, we do. whatever we say is going to happen happens so we can maintain our moral authority through this. >> stephanie: what do you think -- i mean honestly, i'm hearing from both sides, what do you think is going to happen? >> classic case of political posturing that ultimately will advance in real discussions between now and march 27th

with the new -- we've learned culture. sequestration. and next is cr. continuing resolution. that will be our word of the month for march. we'll get close to that 27th deadline. there will be some presumption for the grand bargain. that's the assessment everybody is positioning for the shut down on the 27th. >> stephanie: are you looking at the polls? they're disasterastrous. i said can you get me that poll that shows everyone hates republicans. he said which ones? >> you literally saw the poll that people prefer traffic jams three to one over congress. head lice and even the dreaded nfl replacement refs, outperforming congress. >> stephanie: with chlamydia. >> chlamydia was more popular -- seriously. >> stephanie: see, but you were always ahead of the game particularly on marriage equality. we may be moving toward. speaking of people -- concerned

about, you know, economics. wedding industry could make $17 billion off gay marriage, the amount the u.s. wedding industry would gain. that was one of the issues you really led on. you must feel amazing. >> i feel amazing particularly watching what happened yesterday where 80 republicans, current and former republican leaders, a lot of players in the mccain campaign murphy, schmidt and others active in the republican party as consultants signing up on an amicus brief in support of our efforts as it relates to proposition 8. so you know, it is evolving at a remarkable rate and speed. you think back. it is a good reminder -- >> stephanie: back when you were the sheik -- >> back, my year of birth in 1967 when blacks couldn't marry whites until richard decided to break the law fall in love with mildred jeter.

people need to remember this. the judge in that case, he was sentenced to a year in prison for marrying mildred. the judge said god sir god sir, put different races on different continents for a reason. god never wanted the races to mix. literally, i'm paraphrasing but that's almost verbatim what the judge said. one year in prison or 25 years out of the great state of virginia. 70%, here's the point. 70% of americans opposed interracial marriage in 1967 and this activist supreme court unanimously overturned the rules. my long way to connect the dot 50 54% of americans support marriage equality. we're so much further along as it relates to the question the court will be asked. that's why it is absolutely the right time to ask that question. >> god must have have been pretty pissed off about europeans coming to america. >> there were people here already. >> stephanie: a lot of right-wingers who say god was

a-okay with slavery apparently. >> god's thinking of the church right now. maybe we could put the conclave, we can have two questions. who is the next pope and can you deal with the sequestration issue? >> stephanie: a decree. >> white smoke. >> stephanie: do you think -- i mean, speaking of the -- do you think it will affect the court? there is that, just as it is not a partisan issue anymore. but also that the right side of history argument. you look at polling with young people and i mean -- >> off the charts. >> democrats and republicans independents. >> i think these guys have to think about -- you look back in the history books those that are on the wrong side of history and the supreme court, it is a humiliating thing for their families, it is humiliating. if you're justice kennedy in particular, you'll want to be on the right side of history. justice kennedy who is our key justice, if he's consistent with what he did in colorado in the roamer decision, he will be

consistent here in california. you can't take away rights that were legally granted. that were legally assert and provided for. that was the case in colorado where he wrote the majority. the proposition 8 case, people forget this. it was legal in california to get married 18,000 couples did. we wrote into the constitution a new law saying it's no longer legal. it was a remarkable thing. you think about the history of the united states. every time we advance a constitutional amendment it has been since the bill of rights, we've expanded people's rights. we haven't taken away people's rights. that's what was so auditious about george w. bush in 2004 wanting to support a federal constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. a final point on that, isn't it suggestive that the president of the united states in '04 wanted to change the constitution because he felt there was something missing in it. which ultimately is the constitutional question in front of the court. with an unamended constitution, there is clearly something there that suggests that we're on the

right side of history as it relates to marriage equality and the rights of the gays and lesbian community. >> stephanie: gavin newsom, i have a new dream that you will officiate at my wedding when i find a girl to marry. my fear is she will leave me for you because you're too good looking to live. >> oh, christ. unbelievable. >> stephanie: say i do. she'll be like yeah -- >> unbelievable. >> stephanie: wait a minute!

>> stop the presses. >> i tried to -- i wrote a book trying not to be the politician writing the book. so this is not some history of my childhood and what drove me to -- whatever, you know. it is a technical book about technology and governing as opposed to technology and campaigning. we're very good at using the tools of technology to amplify voices to come out and vote and to volunteer and write checks for our campaigns. once the campaign is done, we turn the voices off. governing is not getting elected. it is actually doing the hard work of governing. so this book is about effectively using the same tools of technology to engage in a two-way conversation with taxpayers to activate pro-active citizenship and to engage substantively in the life of our city our state and our country. so i began a journey, a year and a half ago 68 interviews with well-known folks from president obama, chiefs of staff all their i.t. folks to presidents clinton and gore and many others led me to conclude the tools of technology are going to

dramatically alter the framework of engagement for taxpayers and citizens. >> stephanie: not to be a typical talk show suck up. how timely. we were joking about the polls but people are legitimately feeling so frustrated. the book talks about how you can take matters into your own hands. to dissolve political gridlock. >> we all have this experience, the ubiquity of the devices, the quality of the devices we have today. we're solving problems and we're engaging peer to peer then you go to the dmv and still filling out forms in triplicate. the disconnect is self-evident to everybody else. what's happening is the democratization that is provided to engage people with these tools of technology, provide a different platform than we've ever had. none of us could have imagined five years ago. tom freeman said this. he said in 2005, when he was talking about the globalized

world and this connected world facebook didn't exist. twitter was a sound. the cloud was in the sky. 4g was a parking space. [ laughter ] >> linked in was a prison. skype, for most of us with was a typo. in 2005, not 1995. so now they're ubiquitous in our life. think of the impact it has on the media. you know this better than anybody. think of what has happened in the music industry, the financial services industry. we're on a collision course with the future government because we're still building an old 1970s era technology in our systems of government including here in california. >> stephanie: you explain in the book how 21st century problem is too big and too expensive for the government to buy solutions. instead americans must innovate their way out. tell us how we can do that. >> my premise is this. government operating more like a vending machine. you put in your dollar. you get limited choices. if you don't like what you get

we do what many of us have done, you kick the machine right. that's protest occupy movement, maybe the tea party on the other. that's a framework of scarcity. that's the government we've had. this machine government. what i'm arguing for is something very different. a notion of looking at government more like steve jobs looked at the smart phone as a platform for active citizen engagement. you know, what the iphone did was allow jobs and apple to partner with millions of people. there are 800,000 apps just on that platform today. none provided by apple. all provided by the innovation. >> stephanie: why can't the auto spell be better? i mean really. >> let's talk siri. >> we have to take the same principles is my point and bring them into our governing philosophy and again, it is about a two-way conversation. active not inert citizenship. i don't want things done to me as a taxpayer. i want things done with me. i want to be part of the budgeting of my city.

to submit to the sunshine and day. some of the legal briefs related to that. that's got to be resolved and in this era of opens and transparency where technology provides that light. we have to lean into this. >> stephanie: gavin why do you think -- we were doing a statistic today which even i didn't know. chris always says we marinate in this information all day. only 6% of the american public know the deficit has fallen. >> lowest it has been in years. >> stephanie: but with all of this -- internet, social media why is it that we still -- john kerry said yesterday he said he offered a defense of freedom of speech saying he told german students in america, you have the right to be stupid if you want to be. too many of us are taking advantage of that. >> again we're consumed by process and personality. we're so focused on who's to blai. we watch these shows. we don't get those effects. you get this filter bubble folks talk about and polarized on all
